Parking permits

In the city centre, residents of certain properties can obtain a resident parking permit for their vehicle. Lahti-based businesses and government entities can obtain a maximum of 3 general parking permits that entitle parking in the resident parking spaces.

Permits are sold at Lahti-Piste (Shopping Centre Trio, Aleksanterinkatu 18)

Attach the permit inside the vehicle to the windshield so that it is visible and can be effortlessly read from the outside.

Paid resident or general parking charges will not be refunded, even if the parking need should end in the middle of the period of payment.

Resident parking permit

Residents living in the properties in the old plan areas of the city centre can obtain a vehicle-specific resident parking permit. The resident parking permit entitles parking without a fee or, in the disc parking spaces, without a time limit in the parking spaces marked with the letter of their permit on the map.

Properties entitled to the permit have been limited since the beginning of October 2019. The changes come into effect gradually.
